The unemployment rate for people with a disability is more than double than for those without. Even though the law bars such discrimination, it can be difficult for these Americans to get hired. But that’s not the full story: Some employers are seeing how the special abilities of workers on the autism spectrum can boost their bottom lines. Economics correspondent Paul Solman reports.

DOUGLAS KRUSE:
There's a lot of discomfort with people with disabilities. I think, apart from that, there's a lot of uncertainty: Oh, geez, someone with a spinal cord injury, I'm not sure they're going to fit in here.
MASON AMERI, Rutgers University:
They refer to it as fear of the unknown.
PAUL SOLMAN:
Mason Ameri co-authored the study.
MASON AMERI:
How do I know if this person can do the job? How do I know the cost? So, all of these unknowns ultimately compel an employer to express no hiring intent.

PAUL SOLMAN:
But what prompted this story is a second and more surprising finding of the Kruse-Ameri research: Early results show that when they sent applications just for jobs in data entry and software development…
MASON AMERI:
We found no evidence of discrimination.
PAUL SOLMAN:
None?
MASON AMERI:
None, at least not with the preliminary data.
PAUL SOLMAN:
And why might that be? We went looking for a case study in the real world, and found one in Philadelphia at an accounting firm.
SAM BRIEFER, Account Support Associate, EY:
We all bring something to the table that a lot of people cannot. We are very detail-oriented. We analyze things in a very specific way.
PAUL SOLMAN:
Briefer is one of four recent hires here with autism spectrum disorder.
